The rapper Snoop Dogg has been taking criticism for performing at one of President Trump's pre-inauguration events over the weekend.

Snoop Dogg, meanwhile, is getting dragged for agreeing to appear at a pre-inauguration event. According to The Root, the West Coast rapper will perform at the inaugural Crypto Ball hosted by Trump’s nominated “AI and Crypto Czar” David Sacks.

During the November 2024 election, Kamala Harris counted on the backing of everyone from Barbara Streisand, Spike Lee, Mark Hamill, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cardi B and Charli XCX, to Lil Nas X, Kerry Washington, Mark Ruffalo, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Shonda Rhimes.

On Friday, Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross headlined the exclusive Crypto Ball, a black-tie event organized by crypto entrepreneur David Sacks, recently appointed by Trump as the “AI and Crypto Czar.” The two hip-hop legends reportedly accepted payment for their performances in Bitcoin, currently trading at a staggering $103,000 per coin.

Carrie Underwood, Snoop Dogg and Nelly have faced backlash for agreeing to perform at Donald Trump ’s inauguration party and related events. Underwood, 41, will sing America the Beautiful at the bash on Monday night and said last week that she feels “honored” to be part of a “historic event” at the US Capitol.

As Donald Trump's team and artists confirm their performances at the president-elect's inauguration this week, several social media users are wondering if rapper Snoop Dogg will make an appearance. Neither the 53-year-old singer nor Trump has confirmed his performance yet.

But the singer’s participation in President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration is nevertheless a sign of the changing tides, where mainstream entertainers, from Nelly to The Village People are more publicly and more enthusiastically associating with the new administration.

With Trump's inauguration just around the corner, a religious leader whose life took a big turn is set to play a huge part in the ceremony. The Reverend Lorenzo Sewell described himself as once being a "street pharmacist" and a drug dealer before having a "mighty experience with Jesus" that set him on the path to deliver a speech at the ceremony today.

Trump's second inauguration will feature performances from significantly more famous artists than his 2017 celebration.

Donald Trump has been sworn in as US president in Washington DC, beginning his second stint in the biggest job in politics.

Jason Balla of Chicago’s Dehd has a solo project called Accessory, which has released a handful of singles since 2018. A short bio describes the project as exploring “[the] darker waters and dissonant soundscapes without turning an eye on beauty.

Several other well-known artists are performing at one of the inaugural balls including Rascal Flatts, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Aldean, The Village People and Nelly. Rapper Snoop Dogg performed at a pre-inaugural "Crypto Ball" on Friday night .
